Fat Brian Posted May 19, 2012 Author Posted May 19, 2012 I had originally traded for some Pegasus wheels that look like semi wheels: But the more I looked at them the more I wanted something else, even weathered they might not look right. So I got the Mack AC wheels, they won't be much for comfort but are very stylish.
Fat Brian Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 My Mack got here today with my wheels, maybe now I can make some better progress since my rolling stock is pinned down. I'm going to z the frame behind the cab to lower it at least half an inch, it may just have to ride kind of high due to the wheels being tall. Getting the front down is no problem, a standard monoleaf with a deeply scooped axle will be fine, the rear might be an issue due to trying to be low but not wanting to mount the axle directly to the frame.
Brendan30 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Look at those low profile mack tires! thats gonna be a rough ride! looks great and it works
Jantrix Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I really like your plan here. Can I recommend you double up the thickness of the chassis? I looks rather narrow for a truch with that sort of powerplant and equipment.
rasafyff Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I think it might look better with a MPC 32 Chevy frame and the wheels from Monograms Fire Iron kit.
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Just came across this while looing for something else. Seriously cool. Done? Any progress?
